Some days back, as she often does, Lands minister Olive Beti Kamya was at it on radio.
Apart from land issues, she talked about other things, including the unending occupancy of the presidency by Mr Museveni.
She also talked about our elections, which to different people are sham or sacred.
Her take on the presidency is the usual dinosaurian line she has parroted since she abandoned the Opposition; although some Opposition politicians insist that the turncoat was always a ‘double’, not a recently formed ‘traitor’.
Once a fierce critic of the President’s virtually unlimited power, Kamya now argues that staying in power for a very long time enables a ruler to implement his plans. She says that changing rulers is disruptive.
